Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Northampton County
Dear Smithfield-Carroll's Farms:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 14, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Smithfield Carroll's Farms, .authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC
Number AWS660030 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Farms 27-30, located in Northampton County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 4000 Farrow to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP.).-..If.. this. -is_ a_Farrow .to. Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 including civil penalties, criminal
penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual NPDES Permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Raleigh Regional Office. The Regional Office Water
Quality Staff may be reached at (919) 571-4700. If you need additional information concerning this COC
or the General Permit, please contact Michelle Barnett at (919) 733-5083 ext. 544.
Sincerely,
for Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Brown's of Carolina, Virginia Division (Smithfield-Carroll's Farms 27-30)
Location: Northeast of Gaston off of Rte, 1201
Telephone: (804) 834-2109
Type Operation: Farrow to Finish
Number of Animals: 4000 sows (Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be
applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before
each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content
of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potential, cation
exchange capabilities, and available water holding capabilities.
3. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less
than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters, which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this
type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. Attached, you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out: meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
In severe winters apply zero nitrogen during December and January.
* This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizers
are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in
some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all
nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.
Acres Lbs. N Utilized
Total 161-.8 58,220
Amount of N Produced 45,560
Surplus or Deficit 12,660
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge
at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed
on the average of once every 6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 145.8 ft. (Farm 27), 156.8 (Farm 28), 131.3 (Farm 29),_and _158.22 (Farm
M
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
(Narrative of Operation: This operation is located off of Rte. 1201 northeast of Gaston in Northampton
County. The swine operation_ consists of four _(4) farrow to finish Farms with 1000 sows each for a total
design capacity of 4000 sows._ It is estimated that_32,084,500 gallons of animal waste will he produced
annually for land application. There are approximately 162 acres of cropland available for land application.
The waste from. the swine houses is stored in primary/secondary anaerobic treatment lagoon systems. The
secondary lagoons are used to further reduce the nitrogen content of the waste before it is land applied.
Frequent sampling of lagoons indicate that nitrogen content of the secondary lagoons are an average 410/6
less than the nitrogen content of the primary lagoons. The waste will be land applied to bermudagrass
hayland using irrigation. A small grain cover crop is not required based on historical averages. The
owner may choose not to plant a cover crop on any or all acreage. However, it is recommended that
a cover crop be planted each year on some acreage (minimum 50 acres), and that all fields be
rotated into cover crop every 2-3 years. This would allow for off season maintenance of fields and/or
crops as needed. It is to be understood that should a field not be planted in cover crop, there should
be no application of waste to that particular field during the application window for the cover crop.
And, the nutrient utilization for the cover crop cannot be included in the total yearly allowance for
that field. If waste is apolled to a cover crop, it should be removed for hay or a residual credit applied
toward the next crop. Before sludge is applied, samples will be taken to determine its nutrient content.
Application rates for the sludge will be based on the nutrient content of the sludge so that it is applied at
agronomic rates.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a
copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her
the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not to exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an
Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by the DEM. [See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive
to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not
covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from
animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be
reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are
present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
14, Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a
discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses. Animal waste may be applied at agronomic rates to grassed waterways that do not
discharge directly into water courses provided the application causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not
be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible
for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal
discharge, pollution and erosion.
18. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis
to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
19. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
huan consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption
it should only be applied propellant with no further applications of animal waste during the
crop season.
20. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark
the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. Lagoons and other uncovered waste
containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage
for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
21. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for
these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
22. Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shsall be tested at least annually at
crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element.
Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used
when these metals approach excessive levels. PH shall be adjusted for optimum crop
production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
Waste application records shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 91gn33-0026.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be
applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the
waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they
have different infiltration rates, leaching potential, cation exchange capabilities, and available
water holding capabilities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5
tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to
10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the
surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce
the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this
type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. Attached, you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission,

THIS TABLE 1S NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION,
HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every Q� MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 145.8 ft. (Farm 27), 156.8 (Farm 28),
1313 Farm 29 and 158.22 Farm 30).
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: This operation is located off of Rte. 1201 northeast of Gaston in
Northampton Countv. The ooeration is located on CFSA tract 1023. The swine operation
consists of four 4 farrow to finish farms with 1000 sows each for a total desi n capacity of 4000
sows. It is estimated that 42,340,000 _gallons of animal waste will beproduced land
application. There are approximately 203 acres of cropland available for land application. The
waste from the swine houses is stored in -primary and secondary anaerobic treatment lagoon
systems. The_seconda_ry_ lagoon is used to further reduce the nitrogen content of the waste before
it is land applied. A 35% reduction in nitrogen content was used to determine nitrogen production
for this plan based on actual lagoon analyses. The waste will be land applied to bermudagrass
havland using irrigation. A small grain will be overseeded into some of the bermudagrass fields in
the fall for fall and early spring applications. Before sludge is applied, samples will be taken to
determine its nutrient content. Application rates for the sludge will be based on the nutrient
content of the sludge so that it is applied at agronomic rates.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental
Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the
producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life
expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not to exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an
Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in a4dition to "Buffers" required by the DEM. [See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive
to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than
20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be
reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are
present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a
discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses. Animal waste may be applied at agronomic rates to grassed waterways that do not
discharge directly into water courses provided the application causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not
be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for
these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible
for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal
discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis
to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
Name of Farm: Smithfield-Carroll's Farms 27, 28, 29, & 30
Owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm
named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be
submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before the new animals are
stocked. 1 (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system
to surface waters of the state from a storm event Jess severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.
The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and
Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.

Porcupine a ridiculous appearing, but none the less ef-
fective, maneuver on the part of the por-
orL.. American porcupine is also cupine, r for he literally backs into battle, 0
sill -pig, prickle -cub, porky hog, and swinging his tail in advance like a medieval
mace.
tailed description of a porcupine in summer, porcupines eat all sorts of leafy
,cessary as everyone is familiar with vegetation, and are particularly fond of lily
(y body and formidable spiny armor roots and such other aquatic vegetation as
Mal, can be found along the edges of lakes and

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort
to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location
for all employees at this facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes, Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put
in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom
as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
Contact appropriate agencies.
a. Contact company person:

July 9, 1999
Mr. Patrick Towel!
NCDEHNR, DWQ
Raleigh Regional Office
3800 Barrett Dr., Suite 101
Raleigh, NC 27609
Dear Mr. Towell:
This letter is a follow up to our telephone conversation on July 2, 1999. On the afternoon of July 2,
1999 Carroll's Foods of VA, Inc. personnel initiated land application activities at Smithfield-Carroll's
Farms #27-30 (AWS 660030). After idling the irrigation pump for several minutes, to allow it to build
pressure slowly, the operator noticed that the system failed to gain proper pump pressure in a timely
manner. It is routine procedure to start and idle irrigation pumps for a period of time to allow any air
within the piping to be expelled without damaging pipes or equipment. When the system failed to build
pressure the irrigation operator shut off the pump and initiated an inspection of the irrigation system. It
was discovered that an irrigation hydrant, which was not to be used for that application event, was open
unbeknown to the Certified Operator.
The open hydrant allowed for the unexpected release of swine effluent to the area immediately
adjacent. It is estimated that approximately 2000 gallons of swine manure were released via this
hydrant. The manure flowed overland to a wooded area adjacent to the application field and settled in
that area. Carroll's Foods of VA, Inc. personnel informed me that the effluent was contained on
company property and did not reach any water course. Nutrient content of this effluent is estimated at
1.5 pounds nitrogen per 1000 gallons as a June 1999 analysis indicates (copy attached). It is expected
that the ground and existing vegetation absorbed and utilized this liquid.
This hydrant was not inadvertently left open, nor is there reason to believe that this was an act of
negligence on the part of the Carro!I's or the Certified Operator. This hydrant, located in a remote field,
had been opened and a PVC marker replaced over the hydrant to give the impression that all was well.
Days prior to July 2, 1999 acts of vandalism had occurred at this particular site, specifically the
environmental management department. There were acts of vandalism to a company vehicle and a
gasoline motor that I did not think to be significant enough to warrant reporting to local authorities, until it
was discovered that apparently these acts included tampering with environmental equipment in such a
manner to cause adverse environmental impact. Immediately after my telephone conversation with you,
I notified the Northampton County Sheriffs Office of the incidents and a deputy was dispatched to the
farm. The idea that these acts are related is very possible, there had recently been witnessed threats
against the manager of this complex and the company by an individual who is very familiar with
environmental operations at this site.
To prevent future incidents such as this, environmental management personnel have been
instructed to inspect all equipment immediately prior to any activities that involve land application or
transfer of swine effluent.
Should you require further information, I may be reached at (804"-2109.

Subject: Complaint Investigation
Carroll's Farm 27-30
Northampton County
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Collier:
On October 20, 1998, I conducted an inspection at the subject swine facility due
to concerns that you had regarding the possible expansion of animals at this site.
I met with Mr. Mike Neil, Unit Production Manager with Carroll's Foods, who
acted as my guide while conducting my inspection. I also contacted Mr. Alvin Lane,
Farm Operations Manager, with Carroll's Foods, to let him know my purpose for
the inspection.
I noted that there had been a recent addition of one (1) small confinement building
at each facility (27-30), and that each unit was designed to confine a total of 60
gilts. Mr. Neil stated that currently several a►f the now buildings were still under
construction and that Carroll's had planned 4-first to bring in approximately 40
animals per month. Mr. Neil told me that when all construction was complete that
the plan would be to bring in 60 new gilts evegy 6 weeks.
Mr. Neil further explained to me that new gilts had been introduced to the farms to
replace sows since the farm was built, but they lead previously been housed in parts
of the topping units. With the building of the new'Uolation units, Carroll's can
better insure that no diseases are introduced into 1hi'herd. In other words, the reason
for the new construction was for biosecurity reasons and not to expand total
numbers of swine at this facility.
While I was on site I also conducted a compliance inspection of the facility. All
eight (8) waste lagoons had more than the required amount of freeboard and no
�= "4
problems or deficiencies were noted. I observed land application of waste on one of
the fields near the entrance to the property and walked around the field to see if any
'" "
waste had gotten off site. I discovered no problems with waste application during
this application event.

Please find attached a copy of House Bill 515 entitled MORATORIA ON
CONSTRUCTION OR EXPANSION OF SWINE FARMS.
It is my opinion that the addition of the new isolation houses at Carroll's Farm 27-
30 do not constitute an expansion of animals over and beyond the allowed permitted
number and therefor is not in violation of the moratorium.
I appreciate your interest in this area and your concern with keeping up with current
environmental regulations. If you ever observe any runoff of waste from this or any
other swine farm or municipal system in your area please do not hesitate to call me
at (919) 571-4700. The Division of Water Quality relies heavily on concerned
citizens such as yourselves to let us know when possible violations of State
regulations occur. Once again, thank you for your concern.
